My view

Le chronographe du médecin

A rare and elegant Jaeger baby chronograph from the ’40s, originally designed for medical use thanks to its pulsometer scale graduated for 30 beats.

This emblematic piece embodies the Swiss watchmaking know-how of the interwar years, with a clean dial, a perfectly balanced bi-compax layout and a timeless look sought after by collectors.

The dial features a superb blue pulsometer scale, large Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o’clock and a historic Jaeger signature. Its “wire lugs” case and single-pusher chronograph give it a unique charm typical of the 1940s.

Jaeger chronographs with a pulsometer scale are among the most sought-after models in vintage Swiss watchmaking. Produced in small numbers before the modern chronograph era, they bear witness to a time when watches were true professional instruments intended for doctors.

« A precision instrument and an object of art at once: that is what is most beautiful about pre-war chronographs. »
